Hello fellow sysadmins,
I have plugged in a second SATA drive into a Solaris 10
Sun Fire X2100 system with the sole purpose of dd'ing
a system image to it.
Unfortunately, the system gives me no signs it actually
sees the drive (I'm away from it, so I can't just look
into BIOS). I've looked into dmesg, but I only see

May 18 13:16:00 u13 unix: [ID 672469 kern.info] SMBIOS not loaded (SMBIOS
format is too old for processing)
there. I have several such drives operating in other
X2100's (running amd64 Debian, though).
What is your suggestion to the further course of action?
(I can always call the hoster, attach a console and have them look for
whether the drive is seen by the BIOS, but I'd rather try something
else before doing that).
Thanks!
